Afternoon Tea at Barker Tea House, Cardiff

It's been a while since my boyfriend and I have really spent some time together, yes we see each other but I just really hanging out and doing all the stupid little things lovers do. Today was that day, first stop was Barker Tea house for some much needed brunch. What a good decision that was, a great place for a casual date. With its inspiring interiors; uber comfy chairs, cosy/relaxed atmosphere and vintage touches, this is one place that should be on your 'to do' list. Yes, I was astounded by the size of their sandwiches; probably one of the biggest I've ever seen. That however does not change the fact that it was absolutely delicious; only managed to chow down a quarter being a small person and all which is where my boyfriend comes in. Barker tea house also caters for gluten free which is great, I find it hard to eat out these days because of that. They offer a brilliant selection of eats and there's an awful lot of loose leaf tea here. Tea lovers ahoy!

Located in the castle arcade, this is a great little place to pop into after a long day of shopping or sight seeing. Their cakes are lovely and moist, pancake stack with berries and bacon, YOU MUST TRY! The mixture of sweet and savoury isn't something I tend to go for but these pancakes are out of this world. The music playing in the background as we ate away was very soothing, absolute bliss. Even though I did sink into the chair and looked like I had shrunk, they are indeed comfy.
